Arizona's workers' comp rates rank 46th out of 51 — among the cheapest in the nation. But the state's rapid growth brings risks that many relocating businesses overlook.
Arizona ranks 46th out of 51 jurisdictions for workers' compensation costs, with an index rate of just $0.70 per $100 of payroll — 36% below the national median. For businesses relocating from California ($1.86, rank 4) or New York ($1.59, rank 10), Arizona's rates represent a dramatic cost reduction.
